That's misleading for many reasons. I'll just mention one: the military operations in Iraq are designed not to injure innocent civilians, whereas the terror attacks in England were designed specifically to injure innocent civilians.

There is also rampant terrorism in Iraq, resulting in the deaths of many innocents. Your opposition to the war is reasonable, but I think you reach to far to equate soldiers with terrorists.

The military operations in Iraq are killing civilians though: http://icasualties.org/oif/

I guess I have a problem with making a distinction between killing people who are enlisted in the military and those who aren't. All people have families and loved ones and all come from the same creator. I think it's wrong to take any life for any reason. It isn't up to any human to decide that we know who should live and who shouldn't. Especially given that we always look back and realize how barbaric and misinformed we were. I wish we as a species could look forward or look around and realize this.
